Health Education

The Health District sponsors a variety of health education and health promotion programs and can be a resource to the community for inquiries about health related matters. Many health education offerings are made possible because of grant funding. Classes and health promotion activities are conducted by the health department directly or in conjunction with its community partners.

Among the programs offered are :

  • Hand washing and healthy habits
  • Nutrition for toddlers
